A: Hi Sydney! This version does come with special offers on the lock screen, however they can be removed for a one time fee. If you are looking for a device that comes without any ads out of the box, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition features 32GB of storage, has the ability to wirelessly charge, and always comes without lock screen ads. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Q: How much is the fee to remove ads, how dies it work?
A: Hi Lockscreen- Thanks for reaching out. The fee to remove ads (also called "Special Offers") from a Kindle device is $20. This is a one-time payment, not a subscription, and it permanently removes advertising from your device's lock screen and home screen. You can make this payment through your Amazon account's "Manage Your Content and Devices" section. I hope this helps, have a great day!
Q: Can you borrow books from your local city library?
A: Hi Interested! You can absolutely borrow books from your local library! The exact method is going to vary depending on who your local library works with, so I would reach out directly to them for the instructions. Many libraries work with Libby which provides a smart phone app to easily manage your holds and books on loan, and allows borrow books to be immediately delivered to your Kindle. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Q: Can I download books I own from an older kindle to this one?

Q: How many books can the 16GB hold ?
A: Hello Raspberry, It's difficult to say the exact number of books that 16GB will hold with each book making up different sized files depending on the length of the book or any additional features that go along with the file. With that being said, 16GB will hold several thousand books. For example, a 300 Page Kindle Book will take up roughly 2.5 MB. You can also save your books on to your Kindle Library and download them when you would like if you feel you are running tight on space as well. I hope this answers your question!
Q: Does this Kindle have text to speech? Can it read aloud to me?
A: Hello! Thank you for reaching out. The Kindle Paperwhite has a built-in text-to-speech feature called VoiceView that can read text aloud. Open the book you want to read, press the “Menu” button and navigate to the “Settings”. In the “Settings” menu, select “VoiceView” and turn on TTS. Once the function is enabled, you can start and stop narration by pressing and holding the “Play/Pause” button. Hopefully this helps! Have a great day!
Q: Can you adjust the size of the text to make it larger, for people that need larger text /
A: Yes you can. When in your book, use 2 fingers on the screen just like you would zoom in and zoom out on a picture on a cell phone.

The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite in raspberry has completely elevated my reading experience. From the moment I turned it on, I could tell this device was designed with true readers in mind. The raspberry color is stunning—rich, modern, and unique—adding personality without distracting from its sleek, premium feel. The display is outstanding. The glare-free screen truly feels like reading on real paper, and the adjustable warm light makes a noticeable difference for eye comfort, especially during evening or long reading sessions. I can read for hours without strain, whether I’m indoors, outside, or in low light. Performance is smooth and responsive, with quick page turns and easy navigation. The battery life is impressive—I go weeks without needing a charge, which makes it ideal for everyday use and travel. Its lightweight design and waterproof feature add both comfort and peace of mind, allowing me to read anywhere without worry. This Kindle strikes the perfect balance between beauty, functionality, and reliability. Purchasing it from Best Buy made the experience even better, with quick access and confidence in quality. If you’re looking for a premium e-reader that enhances focus, comfort, and enjoyment, the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite is an exceptional choice.

I bought a Kindle Paperwhite because I wanted to read more books. What I actually wanted was to feel like someone who reads more books. The Kindle delivers on both. It's black. Not "midnight obsidian" or "shadow noir" or whatever nonsense companies are calling black these days. Just black. Like my coffee. Like my outlook. Like the void I was trying to fill with impulse purchases before I decided to become a "reader." The screen looks like actual paper. I don't know how they did this. It's not backlit in a way that screams "I'm staring at a device." It's backlit in a way that whispers "I'm a thoughtful person who makes good choices." I've never felt more intellectually superior while reading a thriller about a woman who finds out her husband has a secret second family in Delaware. Sixteen gigabytes of storage. That's thousands of books. Thousands. I currently have eleven. But I could have thousands, and that's the point. The potential is there. I am one bad night and a glass of wine away from owning every book Oprah has ever recommended. It also plays Audible books. Through Bluetooth. To my AirPods. Which means I can listen to the books I'm not reading while I do other things I'm also not really paying attention to. I've "read" three books this month while doing dishes, folding laundry, and staring blankly at the wall. Productivity has never felt so passive. I'm not saying I retain any of it, but I'm definitely getting through the content. That counts. I've decided it counts. The battery lasts weeks. Weeks. I charged it once in January and I think it's still going. My phone dies if I look at it wrong. My laptop is basically a corded device at this point. But this Kindle? This Kindle has the energy I wish I had. It's in better shape than me. It's waterproof. I haven't tested this because I'm not a sociopath who reads in the bathtub, but I appreciate that the option exists. If I ever become the kind of person who "takes baths," I'm ready. The best part? No notifications. No emails. No "breaking news" about something I can't control. Just words. On a page. Or in my ears. In order. The way God intended before we all got phones and forgot what silence felt like. I bought this thing to read more, and now I read more. Or at least listen more. That's it. That's the review. It does what it says it does. In 2024, that's basically a miracle. Would absolutely buy again to continue pretending I'm the kind of person who finishes books.

The kindle itself is great! It has a long battery life, quite a bit of storage, it's slim and easy to take on the go. All around I like it. The only reason I've knocked it down to 4 stars is because I wish the shop was easier to navigate like it is on my phones kindle app, and I wish I was able to archive books instead of fully deleting them where i'd have to re-buy them if i wanted them back.
